Disclaimer Services
Archimethod provides different types of services throughout the world. Various architects, designers and consultants at Archimethod are licensed as design professionals in several countries, but our design team members are not licensed as architects or design professionals in all countries or in all state jurisdictions. In those countries or state jurisdictions where Archimethod or its team members are not licensed to practice architecture, Archimethod performs services only under the control and supervision of an Architect of Record or other licensed professionals who takes legal responsibility for architecture services on the project. Archimethod does not offer to perform or engage in architecture services where the firm or its members are not legally licensed to do so. Instead, in those jurisdictions where the firm or its design team members cannot legally practice architecture as licensed design professionals, Archimethod operates only as design consultants, and only in consultation, collaboration and supervision of a duly licensed Architect of Record who is responsible for all services required to be performed by licensed professionals.
Data Protection Statement for archi-method.ch and urbanmetrix.com
Archimethod takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and handles it in line with the Swiss Data Protection Act and the General Data Protection Regulation GDPR of the European Union.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you about the type of personal data that will be collected when you use the Archimethod website (the “Website”) during your visit and how we will process, use, and protect such data.
Collecting and storage of personal data on our Website
When you access the Website for informational purpose only, that is when you do not click on social media plug-ins or otherwise provide us with specific information (such as email us), we do not collect any personal data, except for the automatically collected information by the server. The following information are collected automatically and temporarily saved in server log files, which are transmitted by your browser unless you have deactivated such function:
the IP address of the computer transmitting the request
the client’s file request
the http response code
the volume of data transmitted
the website from which you access our website (referrer URL)
the date and time of the server request
the type, version and language of your browser
the operating system on the computer transmitting the request
Our server log files are not evaluated based on personal use. We cannot allocate this data to specific persons at any time. Also, we do not merge this data with data from other sources.
Collection and Processing of Data Provided Voluntarily
If you provide us with your personal data by e-mail, telephone, by letter or other means of communication on a voluntary basis, we collect this data exchange between you and us, including your contact details and the metadata of the communication. We use this data to process your inquiry or our contractual relationship with you. The data submitted will generally be stored 12 months from the last exchange between us. This period may be longer where required for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons. E-mails in personal mailboxes and written correspondence are generally kept for at least 10 years.
Regarding the data, which you submit to us using the Jobs Application Email, we refer to the separate Addendum to the Privacy Policy regarding the Jobs Application (further below).
Transmission to Third Parties
We will not transmit any personal data provided to us to any third parties outside the Archimethod group. Personal data will only be transmitted to third parties:
if you have given prior consent
to sub-contractors who need to receive and use such data for the purpose of fulfilling specific orders if required by us to process your inquiries, orders and use of our services
to service providers bound by instructions, if required to process your order data in accordance with the law
to parties entitled to obtain such data, if required to comply with statutory obligations
If we disclose personal data to other parties, not all are located in Switzerland. Your data may therefore be processed in any country in the world. If a recipient is located in a country without adequate statutory data protection, we require the recipient to comply with data protection (for this purpose, we use the revised European Commission’s standard contractual clauses) unless the recipient is subject to a legally accepted set of rules to ensure data protection and unless we cannot rely on an exception.

Please note that you may have to change the settings in each browser you use to access this website and that not all functions of this website may be available to you if you object to the use of cookies.
Security Measures
We take appropriate security measures in order to maintain the required security of your personal data and ensure its confidentiality, integrity and availability, and to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing, and to mitigate the risk of loss, accidental alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.
Your Rights
At any time, at no cost to you and without providing any reason you can request information regarding the data relating to you which is saved in our systems as well as information regarding the origin, recipients or categories of recipients to whom such data has been transmitted and why such data has been saved.

Should you have any reason to suspect that your data is processed in violation of the Data Protection Act or your legal rights under the Data Protection Act were violated in any other way, you may file a complaint with the Supervising Authority. In Switzerland, the Supervising Authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Officer (FDPIC).
